Living with Dignity
TIG Executive Director Jennifer Corriero participated in the first ever Global Dignity Day on October 20th. In her blog, Jennifer describes the celebrations and activities that took place among 40 grade 9 students (14 years old) in a Leadership Course at Greenwood College. She writes, "in a day and age when most do not agree on anything, from east and west, to conservative and liberal politics, to issues of race and geography, and amongst differing religions and faiths, I believe, along with the founders of Global Dignity, that dignity is the one thing that everyone in the world wants equally." Read on and tell us your impressions on dignity.
